Winter Worlds Mapping Contest!

It's getting frosty out, and we want to see your best winter themed level creations!

You have 40 days to create a winter themed map for any PC game.

This time round the theme is simple, all we want you to do is create a brand new winter themed map, or put a winter twist on one of your existing non-winter maps. It's that simple! You can use any game, or engine you want, provided it is a playable level for a published PC game or Mod.

Note: Although for this contest we will accept re-makes of existing maps, a map that is heavily modified or created specifically to fit with the theme will likely have a higher chance of winning compared to a simple re-texture of an old map.

All entrants will receive judges feedback, and a special winter medal for their profile, with the winner taking away $150 cash and their map featured on the front page of GameBanana! (2nd Place $75, 3rd $25)

- Why not create a buried antarctic base or research station?
- Santa's grotto?
- A mission set on an icy moon or frozen planet?
- A zombie invasion in the middle of a blizzard?
- A battle for control over some igloos?
- A terrorist attack on a Siberian oil pipeline or frozen oil tanker?

The possibilities are endless!
